looks like RC4 may be on its way...

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,4283
[EVO 4G General] brofist:
No, you are seeing updates for lots of small things and assume that their attention is divided.

In truth, there are multiple people working, and not all of their work is immediately shown.

In truth, the only division in their attention is that they have plenty more devices to support than just your phone type, and trust me when I say that the EVO is much farther on its way than some of the other devices they are working on.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
hey guys. on nightly 31 w/ savagezen 1.00 nosbc cfs right now and experiencing a bit of a problem.

i opened up spare parts to look at my battery history, and everything seems pretty normal. then i go to network usage, and see email has the whole bar filled in with blue. not sure what that means, but it cant be good. i'll try force closing email, but dont think that'll do much. thanks.
[EVO 4G General] LancerEVA06:
I had the same problem.
[EVO 4G General] ageesm:
AFAIK all that is is a count of data usage. Just means most of the data you have used since last unplugged has been email. Nothing to be concerned about.
[EVO 4G General] Redneck Trash:
I'm going to have to flash back to RC3 before or just after N33 drops. Anyone else unable to download anything whatsoever on N32?
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
1. You quoted a post about a memory leak issue. I don't think anyone knows what that guys was talking about.

2. How the F can you seriously compare a "Sense ROM" to Cyanogenmod? Yes there are alot of talented developers who make some amazing Sense ROMs. But man, sometimes I'm not sure you people get what must be done to build your own ROM from AOSP source. Cm has to reverse engineer almost all the proprietary drivers, build their own framework from the ground up, build their own kernel, all while supporting like 20 different devices. Not to mention the fact that CM7 is NOT final. So to compare a built from scratch Gingerbread Beta to a finished Froyo modified stock ROM running on a stock kernel is pretty silly.

The most recent stable final release of CM for the Supersonic is 6.1.2. Its as stable as any ROM I ever used. I have no doubt CM 7.0.0 will be just as stable when it arrives.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Just as an analogy, lets say I bought a fast car, then I put a spoiler on it, some better tires, and made some tweaks under the hood. And depending on how knowledgeable I was I could make some fairly extensive tweaks.

Then on the other hand you and your friends went out and procured large piles of raw steel and aluminum and glass and you smelted and welded and hammered and you fabricated your whole own car from nothing but raw materials.

And then, before you're even finished, I come along and point out that your drive shaft is a little wonky still, and therefore my car is better. And that its sad because Im just one person and you have a whole team.

That would be a pretty **** move right? Yeah.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I guess that would make sense if there were no release candidates and if a known problem didn't follow all the way from rc1 to rc3, to me your analogy is way off but I see your point
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
+1

going from rc1 to rc3 means bugs are being squashed. some will obviously remain until the final... that's the process of bug squashing and upping rc versions.

so, in short, no, his analogy is not way off. it's actually quite spot on.
[EVO 4G General] ChadH42:
Changelog bumped to RC4!!!

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I guess everyone is different. Some people think that if you have a known issue before the next release the known issues are fixed, then another release candidate or final, don't just keep rolling over the same problem from release candidate to release candidate otherwise you will get the same complaints over and over again. If you think he's right that's fine, but he was ranting as if everyone follows the same logic as him
[EVO 4G General] IMiLL102911:
If you don't like the bugs in cm7 no one is forcing you to use it. Don't use it until the final is out however long that may be. As simple as that.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
1st I wasn't the one complaining (not saying you said that, just making it clear) but honestly this is the best answer to those that are complaining. Ranting and trying to justify it isn't going to help anyone and only create tension for everyone. Some people aren't even complaining just stating problems and they get jumped on, its sad really. I believe everyone knows using this rom is a choice, so anyone complaining is only trying to make it better, or upset because something small doesn't work but they want to use cm because of its awesomeness.
[EVO 4G General] anaglich:
Tell me how you really feel.

Is it safe to assume that the "WTF" commit is the reason for the bump to RC4? Meaning it was infact a gps commit?
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
That's not typically how a development cycle works.

Edited for better manners.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Regardless, my only point is that dissing CM 2.3 beta because a Sense 2.2 final is more stable is foolish.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
that's what i'm wondering too. i believe gps is the only major issue left for the evo. with how gb works with gps, i'm hoping this might be the *fix* we've all been waiting for.
[EVO 4G General] rocatorreon:
I don't know why everyone complains about gps. I did the gps fix way back in nightly 8 and I'm now on rc3 and just use my gps for a trip from south padre island, tx to new orleans and not once it falied on me

Sent from my spaceship using telepathy.
[EVO 4G General] funcrusher:
*pats your head*
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Indeed. I've only had to do the GPS fix once, and it was when I started first flashing the 2.3.3 nightlies. Since it's such a sporadic problem, it'll take some time to figure out what the issue is. If it's still broken for you, that sucks, but, like I said above, this is a beta.
[EVO 4G General] IMiLL102911:
I'm on the same boat as you, did the gps fix long time ago and didn't have a problem since and I just flashed rc3 when it came out. But everyone's phone is not the same.
[EVO 4G General] funcrusher:
"It works for me -- I don't understand what the fuss is about!?" is kind of ridiculous.

That being said, I'm confident they'll figure it out. It's the only issue I really care about because I actually do use GPS quite often. I tried to go back to a sense rom last night after using CM7 since RC2 was released -- couldn't do it. I restored CM7 after about an hour. ;/
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
Wait, you bought a TV to not sit in front of it? Because what it sounds like you're saying is that HDMI out is dumb because then you sit in front of the tv you bought. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] Vivix729:
My only issue with GPS is apps like RunKeeper and Endomondo where I lose the lock some 1.5 miles into the run...GPS navigation works flawlessly though. Anyone know whats up?
[EVO 4G General] ridleyj329:
just a did a quadrant test and got 960. is that bad?
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
That's what he wrote but not what he's saying. I believe what he meant is he didn't buy that TV to watch his evo or play games on it. I think he means that his tv is meant for cable and for gaming his TV is meant for a ps3 or 360 not an evo.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Lol I meant, I didn't buy a HUGE tv to hang on the wall, attach an hdmi cable and sit directly in front of it (3ft) away. I put it on the wall so I can sit as far as possible and still get a great pic(referring to people who care about emulation thru hdmi). How dumb is it to stand in front of a tv mounted on the wall while playing snes. Second, I said that's why I bought a phone with a huge screen so I could do just about everything I needed....thus making hdmi pretty much worthless for ME. All I said was I wish they got 4G 100% b4 shifting to hdmi. Cm7 is still top notch regardless, its my daily driver over sense.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Well you can use a Bluetooth mouse and or keyboard and sit up to 30 feet away and have a computer or watch Netflix those are just quick examples
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Hmmmm this sounds interesting thanks for tip bro.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
Get the 15 foot HDMI cable from monoprice.com ... totes worth it!

I got the one with the ferrite core, the last item on the page.

[EVO 4G General] mdubs:
Totally off topic but let me chime in here.

[Soapbox] I've been on a team that built a race car from the ground up. It's F'ing HARD and takes a ridiculous amount of work. The only "payment" that we received for this effort were some college credit hours. When somebody who had no idea what they were talking about came to the shop and asked "Why does this part look so funny?", it made you want to smash their face with a wrench.

In the end, our car whooped ass. 0-60 in 3.8 and could pull 1.1 lateral G's (find a super car that can pull those numbers for an earthly sum of money). Oh, and that was with a 10mm restrictor on the intake. Also, when we took that car to competition, nobody asked silly questions about parts. The car looked fantastic and we actually had to prove that the welding was done by students and not professionals (I just happened to be a professional welder prior to entering the college of engineering).

So, everyone calm down. It took us 18 months to design, build, test and race that car. I think we can give the CM team another few months before we start *****ing. These guys don't get paid for this and they have families. I would much rather spend time with my daughters and wife than sit in front of a computer coding all night just to be rewarded with a heap of whining and complaining about this feature or that feature not being 100% on an experimental rom that is free and not even actually supported by the manufacturer of the phone.

[/Soapbox]

Everyone have a nice day.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
No ones bashing cm or devs btw, I know these guys go out of their way to bring us this awesome rom. Just so were clear I'm not *****ing about bugs as they are expected in a rom that isn't FINAL. I was simply just saying I WISH 4G was a 100% before hdmi got everyone's attention. Its my opinion, no harm in what I'm trying to say.
[EVO 4G General] LifeInTheGrey:
I agree with the individual that posted regarding the race car analogy, however I have come to notice something regarding the pace of this thread.

When there is a slew of new features in the latest nightly, a large majority of the discussion is productively based around that. The new features, their setbacks, and problem-solving to find solutions. Conversely, when there is only bugfixing and maintenance (or sometimes nothing, as the devs do have lives), that is when the conversation shifts into a "why isn't this working"-fest. The adage "if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all" applies, however for me to sit there and tell people to shut up because their just unproductively complaining ... I mean you've seen it, that just spawns a 5-page pissing contest of "no it's okay for me to say this". Inevitably, the adage is morphed into "if you don't have something good to say, we all know you will find something bad or stupid to say", because ... well, we are all obsessed with this thread. If we aren't posting something, we feel like we aren't contributing to the conversation, or validating ourselves, or some other subconscious thought that compels us to post completely irrelevant and unnecessary flame wars.

People will post these things, and I've just learned to accept that, and try to stay on topic myself. Often, the spiteful words stem from a question getting answered sarcastically, or a person getting berated for complaining about a problem without providing the information or taking the steps necessary to correct it. While I am not on the thread as much as I used to be, when here I try to prevent that by assisting where I can, and I believe tackling the problem at its source rather than scolding the consequential symptoms will have a greater change effect.

Just something to consider. And if anyone is experiencing problems and wants assistance, PM me and I will do the very best I can to help. I don't have all the answers, but I will try to find them for you.

Edit: one more thing, that no one ever mentions ... every phone is different; minute differences, but different nonetheless. It's why some can overclock to hell and others can't at all, some can run BFS and others can't. You can try every possible solution to the problem, but in some cases it may just be your phone does not want to do it. Keep that in mind as well.

Seriously the cm team is awesome.

Thanks for all the hard work
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
... I'd like to add a properly functioning 4G to the list of major issues remaining for the HTC EVO 4G.

GPS is important...HDMI is spiffy I guess...but I'd like my 4G to work as expected. hell, at the very least create a shortcut to a dhcpkill script and put it in the nightly for folks. that won't help when a reboot is required, but it's better than current.

a helpful workaround implemented today is better than a perfect fix yet to be applied
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
i agree. despite what the nonsense you're seeing on this thread, work on wimax is constantly being done by teamwin devs and testbots, alongside polishing up hdmi. as for gps, that's an entirely different monster that poor cyanogen is tackling.

******

to everyone else,

kindly... just relax.

just remember. a feature that is important to you is not necessarily equally important to someone else. to belittle developers because your favored feature isn't being developed as you see fit is not helpful and, frankly, insulting. some users really don't understand that their constant whining has actually almost turned away *a lot* of developers. be glad their love for hax0ring outweighs the annoyance and headaches these users give.

in any case, that's just my 2 cents on the off-topic discussion...

******

on-topic... i wonder what that "wtf" commit will do....

o_O
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Others were bashing. Not you.

One guy had the balls to post that he didn't understand why VaekPak was more stable than CM7 and that CM had a whole team of devs and that it should be as stable as VaelPak. The offense that was taken was due to the ridiculous comparion of a ROM that is ultimately an HTC ROM that's been tweaked, to CM who builds their own kernel, drivers, framework, etc. from the ground up.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Ohhh :eek: back on topic though, I'm having weird text wrapping issues and I can't figure it out for the life of me. I use pulse alot and only on cm7 it has issues where the text stays on the left side of the screen. Its that way in gmail also; I saw another post (same prob) a while back but I couldn't keep up w/ the thread to see if it was answered. Check out the pic to see what I mean.
[EVO 4G General] ageesm:
This doesn't help solve it, but I've noticed this too. Started around nightly 24-26ish I think? I thought it was just me and a full wipe would fix whatever was causing it, but never got around to doing one...Seems a little more prevalent than I thought after seeing a handful of posts about it. If I chose the article and zoom in/out it reflows properly and stays right for the duration of my use with the app. Soon as I do something else and come back it is back to your pic :(.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Yes that's around the same time it started for me also. Idk
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Very interesting, I thought it was just a gmail problem but looks like maybe it is a CM bug. I see it in Gmail.
[EVO 4G General] ChickenArise:
I've been having teh word wrap issue for a while now; so has my gf. Not a huge issue, but I'm certain that its fairly widespread.

Also - sometimes 4G fails to start. Like, I toggle it on and it sticks at "Turning on..." with the option grayed out in Wireless Settings. At this point I can't toggle it off or do anything about it. the killall dhcpip command says that there are no interfaces to kill. The only solution I've found is a reboot.
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
I had the Pulse issue as well. Oddly enough if I pinched to zoom in then zoomed back out it would fix itself. Then I started messing around with LCD density (mine's at 200 now) and the problem went away.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Search not working on my phone so pardon if this has been asked.

I'm on the road for work and couldn't get the rock solid divx app to work. Is this a CM bug, app bug, or gingerbread bug?

Haven't used the app since i was on a sense ROM and it worked flawlessly back then.

A brother needs his pron on the road. :P

Swyped from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Hey was wondering ... when changing your density do you ever notice the line in the drop down menu? I swear I've seen this question asked, including a picture, and answered in either this thread or the other CM thread. Was searching last night and am trying to do the same on my phone at the moment ... but saw your post and figured I'd ask. Picture follows.

Know it was asked and can't remember the response, was like days before I ended up buying the app and have dealt with it for too long! LOL

Is there a known issue in the Nightly builds with the Facebook apps (friend sync?)

When I setup the Friends sync from within the Facebook app it seems to work fine. When i go to Contacts I see that it has worked properly. However, as soon as I reboot the phone it disappears.

Anyone have any advice? I'm on Nightly 32
[EVO 4G General] nivron:
You need to set it to a proper ratio. 192 works good for me.
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
yes this happens to me as well but i think it has to do with the cyanbread theme because with the default theme it doesnt happen. my density is set to 186.

So this is kinda more of a curious question, I noticed that the evo 3d will be released with gb 2.3, so will that help with the production of this rom say driver wise and such?

Sent from my CeEvO
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Maybe, if HTC is kind enough to share them!

I'm sure we'll be enjoying CM8 nightlies with Android 2.4 by then though. :D

Actually in all seriousness I think the release of the Nexus S 4G will be far more valuable to Evo owners. (AOSP will be coding for a CDMA/WiMax device!)
[EVO 4G General] brofist:
It'll be released with HTC's Sense 2.0, which won't be AOSP Android.

It'd be contributory to the problem, maybe, but it won't directly help the situation (reverse engineering GPS/ full HDMI output).
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
Driver-wise, including GPS, it'll be more worthwhile for the Evo's own GB/Sense 2.0 build.

PS: how do you know what the "proper" LCD densities are? does it have to be a number that fits the 800x480 resolution? If so I can see why 240 works, but how exactly does 192?
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I did notice it also, I'm so picky man; there's almost nothing that gets away without me noticing it :-)

I have been a launcher pro user for quite a while, today I decided to try SPB Shell 3D. I am impressed. A little pricey at 14.00 $, needs more custimazations, but for function and eye candy it is wicked. Btw comes with good widgets. Battery drain seems negligible. CM 7 31 savagezen 1.1

[EVO 4G General] sftd:
Prior to reading this post I had not heard of SPB. I now have it installed on two devices. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that it runs demonstratively better on my particular Nexus S than my particular Evo, and I'm really not sure why. I am however totally enthralled with it nonetheless. Thank you!
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
That would be due to the Nexus's smoking CPU/GPU chip combo.

I played with the beta. It was nice-looking. But I could never make it my daily. And I'm sorry but there ain't know way I'm paying $14.99 for a launcher. Cool program, though.

It looks like they made some changes that would impact agps.

As far as what else they fixed? I did notice a commit in the changelog that will hopefully resolve the issues of transitioning from WiFi to 3G.

trying to understanding focus ducking

A few weeks ago I experienced something wierd with my music player's interaction with google nav voice directions. Whenever nav would prompt with a new direction, the music would stop but the nav voice was near silent. It didn't happen when music wasn't playing and nav didn't have to take focus from anything else. This occured in both Lithium music player as well as playerpro.

During some troubleshooting today it seems that i can replicate the issue when ever i try to turn on focus ducking in the music app that comes with CM7. I'm not sure if this is some kind of bug as i might have misunderstood what focus ducking is but i'm wondering if anyone else was experiencing this? I can just use the stock music app without focus ducking and the music would pause and the nav would do its thing. Totally willing to work around and use the stock music app when i need nav but if the issue can be resolved with 3rd party players that would be awesome.

I was on build 32 bone stock except for the apps mentioned when i was testing.

Unfortunately GPS still does not work for me on RC4.

It shouldn't have anything to do with using Savaged zen kernel, right? I always flash that after the first boot because I get better battery life with it.
